If you then find someone who blocks your online stuff ... unfortunately I have been looking in vain for one ...

It is always a question of what expectations you have. There is a portal that eBay sold some time ago. There you get craftsmen and companies who a) are available immediately and b) do everything you want. And I am not talking about undeclared work (although for one company there are about 5-8 providers who cannot issue an invoice...). Overall, a really large offer – from small jobs to entire trades.

It's a bit like in a restaurant. Of course, all the individual ingredients are cheaper at Aldi, Lidl, or even at the market - but you also have to know how to cook, and the plate doesn't look like it was arranged by a professional. The first 10 silicone joints usually look like they were painted by a five-year-old child. The drill slips, and suddenly the beautiful large-format tile is multi-part. Do you want that in the new bathroom of the dream house?

A good tile drill bit really works wonders. I am always amazed at how much depends on decent tools. With that, you really catapult yourself from an absolute amateur to an acceptable hobby craftsman in terms of the result.

To stick with the image, a meal cooked with love at home can mean a lot to the family / one’s own satisfaction. It’s a matter of type and a matter of one’s own priorities.

Aside from the fact that for various reasons (shortage of skilled workers, sub-sub-sub contractors, etc.) the “professional” result is not necessarily the same as careful + “made with love” work.

I would very much like to pay for good work, for the work itself. I find the mixing of material surcharges very regrettable.

How much does a bottle of wine cost in a restaurant? Or a glass of water? The sentence brake discs for the car? Surcharges are normal. I find this outrage silly.

But I don’t have to pay 150€/h for the service as well. Small but significant difference!
